Some ed tech folks on Twitter have been discussing technology tools teachers should be able to use.
Based on my interactions with teachers through my website and blogs, I’d suggest a list of technology use practices teachers need to apply. Few items on my list have to do with actual teaching with technology. (I’ll save those for another post.)Teachers should:

Use school email only for school-related business.

Use their own personal email account, not one shared with a spouse or family.

Write an email subject line that indicates the topic of the message.

Compose email with the essential point in the opening paragraph.

Use an email signature that includes basic contact information.

Before sending attachments, ask intended recipients if they can read files in the selected format.

Use alternatives to attaching files to email, such as providing a link to a Google doc.
